This was exactly the effect she wanted, to control him harshly and temper him when he was extremely excited.

In her eyes, although Su Qinchao is a little cunning sometimes, he is a good material for getting things done.

He is also honest in heart, otherwise he would not have risked using his own hand to avenge the humiliation he had suffered in his previous life.

She understood that if she were in his shoes, she would not miss such an opportunity either.

The hatred of destroying a country is irreconcilable, and anyone with a bit of blood in his veins will do the same.

Besides, with his personality of speaking one thing at a time, I don’t know if there is anything he has missed. I have to scare him to make him confess everything.

"I am guilty." Su Qinchao raised his head and looked at Princess Yucheng who was sitting on the jade steps:

"Please trust me again, Princess. If I gain anything in the future, I will tell you everything I know!" He didn't dare to say whether he would suddenly remember something when he saw something in the future.

"You are smarter than Li Yi. Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about the issue of the Yellow River first." Princess Yucheng raised her hand and ordered him to stand up and answer.

"I only remember a few things. One is to build dams at strategic locations along the Yellow River to control the amount of water and flow rate, and carry the silt into the sea.

The second is to build embankments with huge stones along the way during the dry season to consolidate the foundation. The third is to build canals to divert water and control floods. "Luckily, I have watched "The Longest River in the World" and I remember some of it.

"Anything else?" Princess Yucheng leaned over and looked into Su Qinchao's eyes.

"I really don't remember the rest. I was just a common woman in my previous life and didn't read much." Su Qinchao waved his hands quickly. This was all he knew.

"Do you have any idea to deal with the locust plague?" Princess Yucheng asked all her doubts one by one, ranging from people's livelihood to national security.

Su Qinchao said everything he could say, and even if he didn't know something, he honestly said he didn't know.

The two chatted until late at night, so much so that the city gates were locked and Su Qinchao had to rest in the princess's mansion.

On the second day, Princess Yucheng agreed to put Su Qinchao into the team accompanying Shi Qiyi, and Su Qinchao left with peace of mind.

On the way to the government office, he met Gao Zhili who came to look for him. After chatting, they found out that Gao Zhili was also on the trip to Japan.

Originally, Gao Zhili came to ask him if there was any special news from Princess Yucheng, and why the emperor sent someone to accompany Shi Qi to Japan this time.

It’s not that there hadn’t been eminent monks who went to Japan in the past, and they were all accompanied by monks, but there was no precedent of sending officials there.

As the envoy going to Japan, Gao Zhili was completely confused.

"Maybe it's because the Japanese have come too many times, so Your Majesty should send an envoy once to show that there is a give and take." This was also the apparent reason Princess Yucheng gave him this morning.

She also asked Su Qinchao to bring back some cosmetics from Japan, as she heard that the things there were particularly nutritious.

"Really?" Gao Zhili had doubt in his eyes.

"Maybe you will know by then!" Su Qinchao patted Gao Zhili's shoulder and walked past him into the yamen.

...

Half a month later, the list of people going to Japan was finally finalized.

Early in the morning, Su Qinchao received a transfer order and temporarily served as Gao Zhili's deputy. Three days later, he accompanied Shi Qiyi on a diplomatic mission to Japan.

During these three days, Su Qinchao first spent a day purchasing some necessities for going to sea, especially oranges.

Because navigation technology was not well developed at that time, although these things would be available on the ship, Su Qinchao still planned to prepare another one to avoid any accidents.

He spent the next two days at home with Yunniang, and only on the day of his mission did Su Qinchao bid farewell to Yunniang.

He kissed the two children again and went out early.

When we arrived at the port, we saw that almost everyone was there. There were seven or eight huge sailboats floating on the river, all decorated with red cloud patterns, which were beautiful and magnificent.

Su Qinchao exchanged greetings with everyone and then followed Gao Zhili into the cabin. The two of them were temporarily arranged in the same room.

Because we brought so many supplies that they took up most of the rooms on the ship, many rooms would naturally be empty as time went on.

"Why did you bring so much luggage?" Gao Zhili looked at the pile of bags around Su Qinchao, among which there was even a half-meter-high bamboo basket.

"Prepare some basic supplies just in case." In his previous life, Su Qinchao had only seen the sea in Shenzhen Bay and had never gone out on a boat. To be honest, he was a little scared and excited.

"Okay." Gao Zhili knew that Su Qinchao always liked to be prepared, so he was not surprised.

He responded briefly and walked to his bed and lay down. He was so excited last night that he didn't sleep much, so he needed to catch up on some sleep.

Heading south, there was a howling cold wind at the beginning, but it became warmer the further south we went.

When they reached the sea outlet, Su Qinchao and other Dawu officials who saw the sea for the first time exclaimed in surprise.

It was evening at this time, and the sun was still hanging where the sea and the sky met, setting off the blue sea and sky, which was extremely beautiful.

This is so different from my previous life, Su Qinchao thought to himself.

Nuclear wastewater from previous lives has long since corroded the ocean. The water is no longer glowing blue and clear, but is now bottomless black, emitting a foul stench along with rotting marine life.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it if you see it every day. This is already their tenth day floating on the sea.

Although the Japanese told them that they had not deviated from the course and had been following the previous route, they still felt fear and annoyance.

It seemed like an endless sea, especially since there was nothing but smoked meat and seafood along the way.

Fortunately, they could get an orange every day, otherwise they would have turned green with envy long ago.

"How long will it take to get there?" Su Qinchao finally couldn't help but ask an older crew member on the ship.

"Your Excellency, if nothing unexpected happens, it will take about thirteen days." The crew member didn't even raise his head. This was the fifty-third person who asked him this question today.

"There are still thirteen days left!" Su Qinchao had read all the books he brought and was tired of fishing. He was really bored.

"Brother Su, I asked someone to carve a pair of Majiang. Do you want to come and play?" Just when Su Qinchao was feeling listless, Gao Zhili, who had just come out of the cabin, called him excitedly, holding a box.

"Coming right up!" Isn't this the ancient Mahjong? Finally, I have something to kill time.

However, it was fine when the car was driving smoothly. Once there were some waves, the Majiang game could not be played. After the waves disrupted the cards for the 30th time, Su Qinchao became impatient.

He stood up and took out something from his bag. When everyone came closer to take a look, they found that it was a Buddhist scripture.

"Brother Su, where are you going?" Gao Zhili saw Su Qinchao walking out of the cabin with the scriptures, and hurriedly chased after him and asked.

"I plan to find a monk to chant sutras!" Su Qin raised the sutra in his hand and answered seriously.

"Then I'll go with you." Gao Zhili knew that he couldn't play Majiang, so he planned to accompany Su Qinchao to study scriptures to pass the time.

But he really had no interest in this. After just half a minute, he fell asleep on Su Qinchao's lap.
